Cost comparisons between modular and traditional construction are often oversimplified. This analysis looks across 24 comparable projects to identify where modular construction delivers a clear financial advantage, and where the traditional method still holds up.
Standardized processes dramatically reduce human error and the cost of rectification work. Factory purchasing power on materials, combined with a compressed schedule, consistently produces savings on repetitive, large-scale developments.
Highly customized, low-unit-count projects see less benefit from modular delivery, since the setup costs of a factory run are amortized across far fewer units.
